Streets of Sydney

Yesterday, after a very last minute decision, a friend and I decided to go to the Museum of Contemporary Art at Circular Quay in Sydney, to see the Fiona Hall: Force Field exhibition.

It was truly amazing.
It featured photography, etchings, installations, sculptures, videos, and more, all by this one talented artists. Most of her work used everyday / found objects.
Truly inspiring.
Well worth visiting.

On our way to and from the museum we put one of our goals into action. Armed with our cameras we took photos of all sorts of interesting things. The advice we received from Misty & Nina was to take lots of photos, and that we would get used to it and not feel so self conscious. So, putting it all in to practice here are a few of the photos I took.

I know that this is just the start, the more photos I take the more I will see.

I have not done anything to these photos (except add my name), my next big step is to start to play in photoshop!

hello Ursula,

your pictures look great ! Me too, I love to take pictures very close so you see the structure of the stone, the tree,... It almost feel tactile...
Your papercast for crusade 20 looks great: quite detailed. I keep your tips in mind when I make new ones !

You've been in Melbourne for the Art retreat ! I wish the teacher came over to Belgium one day...

Thanks for visiting my blog and yes, Freek enjoyed his birthday, especially all the sweets... In summervacation he and his friends are going to have a "Freekparty", but now they are all studying hard for the past month and a half : they start with their last examinations at the university next week...

greetings
Inge ( from Belgium)

Oh Ursula, these are just fantastic! Love every single photo.
It is so great that these are un-photoshopped, they don't need anything done to them.
You inspire me to get out there with my camera!
Love Jo

Great photos and they make a lovely collage together. It IS sometimes inhibiting to take photos in the street. I find my litle cheap compact camera is a way around that. Much less obvious when you're not putting it to your eye to compose the shot as with my DSLR!
Handy to always keep in your handbag too. I've blessed mine many times since buying it. x

Excellent photos... and it is true, after a while you don't even think about whipping out your camera. I love how you captured the rain and the sun on that bit of marble. Clever chick.
